Answer:

Rubber or plastic covers are bad conductors of electricity. So they do not allow the electric current to pass through it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rubber and plastic are bad conductors of electricity, therefore when handling a tool with a rubber handle, the electricity will not pass through it.
